A Billy Baldwin Bonus

And one more interior that seems oh-so-right for the summer: this Nantucket living room, which was decorated around 1980 by Billy Baldwin. The house belonged to Michael Gardine, the writer behind Baldwin's memoir, Billy Baldwin: An Autobiography. Gardine lived in the house with his partner, the makeup artist Way Bandy, while their friend Baldwin lived out his last years in a small cottage on the property.

I'm not bothering to show you the rest of Gardine's house, because Baldwin did not seem to be involved with decorating the other rooms. And if you saw the other rooms, you would have wished that he had been. Still, this room is so quintessential Billy Baldwin that I couldn't resist showing it to you.
